> > I started klonopin on Thursday (.5 mg twice a day). My doctor bumped it to 1 mg. All I want to do is sleep and I have lost almost all sense of enjoyment in everything. Is this the klonopin, or the depression I was already in (or the increase in lithium stamping down my thryoid).

> It could be the Klonopin, although it sounds like there are other possible causes as well. I get the impression that your doctor increased the Klonopin dose awfully fast; were you feeling sedated when you were on the 0.5 mg dose? If so, my suggestion would be to talk to your pdoc about going down to 0.5 mg (or even 0.25 mg) to see if that helps, then work from there.
